In this third installment of his continuing adventures, Angus the Scottish terrier - whose story began in Angus and the Ducks, and continued in Angus and the Cat - finds his way onto the open road, and chasing another dog (a collie), is lead far from home.

Angus Lost by Marjorie Flack is the third book featuring the curious, feisty Scottie named Angus, which was preceded by Angus and Ducks and Angus and the Cat.

Bored with Winter, ever curious Angus wonders about "MANY THINGS, including where the MILK MAN came from, where the WIDE ROAD went to, and what kind of animals CARS are." Slipping throught the gate one Winter day, Angus emerges on the WIDE ROAD where he could see no end. Finding and running with a friendly collie, Angu More...

Angus books are cute and funny, especially if you're a young child. Both the 7-yr-old and 5-yr-old loved it (and the 11-yr-old was casually hanging on the back of the couch while I read, trying not to look interested but his eyes were glued to the book).

I think Angus and the Cat and Angus and the Ducks are funnier, but if your library has this, it's well worth reading once or twice.

When it was amazing, I liked it. I think he went through a tunnel and he was back home. When he was home he still saw his cat, milk man's cat.

This is a story I read as a child and remembered unto adulthood. It's a simple little story, but a sweet one.

Well, I have a little bit of a problem with the idea that being content is valued over being adventurous, but Angus wasn't beaten down and can be imagined to have further adventures. Love the drawings. Love that the book could be used as an Early Reader.

My three-year-old son absolutely loves these books. Angus reminds me a lot of Curious George. It's cute how he goes chasing after things he thinks he wants, and how the books are written from his perspective. My son really enjoyed Angus Lost, but Angus and the Ducks is still his favorite (and mine). More...

When I was five I had a little black Scotch terrier named Angus. He also got lost*. But he did not follow the milk man home.


*When I was 19 my father told me that he had in fact given my dog away because it was too much work to take care of. But for the intervening 14 years I believed that Angus got out because I left the front door open while sweeping the steps.

My three year-old really likes this book. I told her what milk-men were. She had no idea, of course.
